Nani wale e ka mahina
Konane e ka pō laʻi
Kukui mālamalama
O ke aupuni a nā hila
He ʻōnohi pua kaimana
Ke ola pau kaukani
Aʻe aʻe kau i ka niʻo
I ka nalu he`e i ka lala
Huki paʻa kou pohilima
ʻOni ʻole ke aupuni
Kuhi e koʻu manaʻo
Maluna o ka ʻāina
Haʻina mai ka puana
Nani wale e ka mahina

So beautiful, the moon
Lighting the peaceful
night
Candle brightening
The earth and hills
Like the center of a
diamond
With a thousand hues
We do honor to
The waves which move about
us
Pulling hard with the palms of
your hands
You are unable to move the
earth
My thoughts focus
Above the land
Tell the story
So beautiful is the moon
